I liked everything, the cabin on the ship is excellent, the food is excellent. True, at first they forgot to put a cot in our cabin, but then they quickly organized it. We liked our guide Ahmed too. The excursions were very interesting and the organization of everything is also excellent. Thank you.

Amazing experience from the beginning to the end. Amazing boat with good food, great staff, nice sundeck and spacious room with a great view. The experience was greatly enhanced by our amazing guide Ahmed. His english was very good, making it very easy to understand and enjoy the temples, tombs and their stories. He even bought us breakfast when we accidentally woke up late and missed breakfast. We highly recommend him if anyone is looking for a guide.
